1.3 Identifying model of transmitter
The age of the unit will determine which portions of instructions will be
necessary during the process of wiring to the motherboard. Crown
Broadcast has made several different versions of motherboards over the
years, so take note of the version being wired.
Most motherboards will have its part number, version and/or date along
the right side or the front edge of the board. Silk-screening was also
used for identi�ication.
In some of the earlier versions, the version revision is part of the foil
pattern along the front edge of the board. All versions will be able to be
used. However, the earlier ones will require some modi�ications to the
wire assemblies before installation as described in detail later.

2.1.1 Modifying a unit with a tuner board
If the unit has a tuner, the tuner antenna connection will need to be
changed to one of the unused BNC connectors that are on the back
panel.
If the unit does not have a tuner, skip to section 2.2.
Carefully remove the “N” style connector from the back panel and cut
the connector off. Strip back the insulation ½” and pull the braid back
from one side and twist together as shown below.
